Abstract

The Emerald ash borer, (EAB, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) continues to pose a major risk to Canadian urban and rural forests and parklands. EAB now occurs in four counties in southwestern Ontario. An estimated 1 million ash trees in Essex County, Ontario, and millions more in adjacent counties are in peril. Little natural resistance has been observed to this point in Canada.
